If we agree people shouldn't use ChatGPT for legal issues, what should they use instead? The public deserves a better answer than "Go without." Here's how lawyers can provide one.
As always, excellent insights! Let's shout this from the rooftops. This doesn't need to be a zero-sum game. We can give access to justice *AND* lawyers can make more money. AI + Jevon's Paradox = win-win. If we allow it.
Posting from LinkedIn, https://caseguru.app/ is another new player trying to work on this problem. They began as a platform to connect people with the *right* lawyer by helping the user understand their own problem better, and forming it into a standardized 'job' that goes into their marketplace so registered lawyers with relevant expertise can get in touch (think Rover but for lawyers). It's since greatly enhanced the offering by add self-service advice using generative AI to help the user understand what to do, how to do it, and how much a lawyer would likely charge to handle the matter for them. At any point in the process the user can switch from self-service to a lawyer within the platform, and only pay for the lawyer when they need to. The registered lawyers are also winners because this is business they were not getting before (no one was).
Full disclosure, I'm an early stage advisor to CaseGuru and own a very small piece of it.
